When I am doing cube development in my own PC and when I define data sources, I always use service accounts and it works fine for me.My worry is, when I will deploy this SSAS cube to production environment how this impersonation will work ? whats is the best practice for handling this kind of migration from Development to Production.Thanks,[/font]Wed, 10 Jul 2013 09:25:02 GMTloveonlylove2012
